Pat's show was all about the Cyprus fiasco where a financial bailout of the nation was being predicated on an instant 7-10% levy on all bank deposits. The citizens were being looted without warning and the end result of the plan was a series of bank runs despite the fact that the plan was never implemented. On Pat's show, very near the beginning, we heard this immortal line:
"Technocrats from the Ministry of Finance presented the Troika with a draft plan ..."They're all screwed. It doesn't matter what follows after that phrase, they're totally screwed.
Here, a family of proles mends clothes while listening on the radio for the latest edicts from the Troika. |
"Mum, I 'ope the Troika give us more gruel next week. We's right 'ungry every day!"Oh well. I suppose as long as we get our orgasms and weed, we'll be fine. Self-governance is overrated.
""Ere now, lad, don't go asking for more. Them Technocrats know what's best for the likes of us. We'll get what's proper, make no mistake."

so orwellian. nice dialog, BTW.
Was expecting a fight to break out between the proles over the lottery numbers!
Thanks!
And don't worry about the proles. They're quite happy with their government-provided free sex.
Quite happy.
"Oh well. I suppose as long as we get our orgasms and weed, we'll be fine. Self-governance is overrated."
Exactly.
